Hi there,

I'm of the survivor mentality.

If you like a place and you want to go there - then just go. Throw caution to the wind, be prepared to work hard, and things will probably work out.

One thing though, while England and Ireland are devastatingly green and gorgeous, with good beer, how do you cope with the low skies and much of the year? Go East...less rain I think.

Not to mention the additional cost of hiring a marquee every time you want a BBQ in case it rains.
